yes if both of you are using the same internet service..
like me i have many internet users that uses also the same ip as mine..
the solution to that is a software that changes your ip like IP HIDER,,
its hides your true ip address and changes it to another ip..

install it and configure it..
so it can work..
or you can use a proxy server so your ip address will be different..

they cannot detect concrete proxy server..
their system cannot detect any malicious act if you are careful in clearing your private data and exchanging your browser alternately.. :)

You can use a static IP address with wifi, which is what I use myself, but it will not solve the problem.
A static IP address will simply stop the ISP server from assigning a different IP address each time you connect, although the IP address used will be used by all computers using the same wifi outlet.
I suspect that more than your cousin are using the conection, which suggests that your wireless router is either not password protected or the password is not sevure enough. You can log into your router and check which other computers are connected, or even have the router send a log of usage to your email address once a day.
Basically you need to use a strong password on the router to restrict unauthorised use. Do not use WEP because it is easily beaten, so try WPA instead.

As several people have already said, this is the result of another computer using the same internet connection, which is most likely a wireless router.
The IP address is assigned to the telephone line that carries the signal and not the computer itself, so a shared wireless network will display the same for all computers.
If the wireless router is your own then you can block the usage by other computers by applying a password, but if it is a public network used by a college etcetera then there is nothing that you can really do.

If a different computer is hooked up to the same wireless connection or same modem then it would have the same ip address. But if it not at the same exactly location then no it will not have the same ip address or on the same wireless connection.

Different computers on different phone lines can have the same IP address.
There are only 430 million or so possible IP addresses worlwide and there are way more users online at any one time.
Another way to change your IP address is to change your service provider. There must be someone else using the same service provider in the same locality who is also doing the same as u are
